Quick! Mums almost here! Better have a bath!
Almost every time, birds do this when they are about to go home 😅🤦♀️

Lunch time for these hungry girls.
Blue pallid, mauve pallid, cobalt turquoise, olive opaline
It's the simple things in life ❤️
🥵 Oh boy, ain't it warm today. We go from hail, to flooding, to tornado to heat wave all in a week. Make sure your babies are keeping cool in this weather, temps over 40°C can quickly become fatal to parrots.
The connies are having fun playing parent to the baby quakes during feed time. Some people like to accuse me of photoshopping and altering my photos to make them look like something they aren't, so here's a video of Mr Maverick in all his glory. I'm flat out watermarking my photos, let alone working out how to enhance them 😅
They are the real deal, many years of hard work selectively breeding for colour and temperament 💞
More babysitting 😆

Bathtime 🛁
Guess I'll be mopping again 😂
Day in the life of a bird breeder's daughter, mixing the pellets!
Miss 6 has decided this is a concrete mixing barrel and the "concrete" must go down my arm a.k.a "the slide" 😑😆
Mr 8 is inside doing some treat training with the older babies and snuggling the smaller ones.
Getting everything ready for the care packages, the countdown is on for those getting their babies soon! 🥰
What did that ball ever do to you, 139? 😅😅

Baby Cam 🐣
Babies are starting to play and eat sprouts, as well as nibble on pellets.
And yes, that IS conduit cable over my power cords because the quakers kept chewing through them last year 😄🤦♀️💀
It's a hard knock life on this dreary, drizzly morning. They don't really want to get out of bed and frankly, nor do I 🤣🤣

The lowest paid employee here at Maranatha Aviaries 🤣
He preens them much more efficiently than I do, and they complain less 🤣

First day in the play pen, think we might play a spot of "smack my sister in the head" 🤭

Lunch time, with a helper.
"Here let me feed you the cornflakes I stole from mum's bowl"
Those little contented peeps 🥹

Quakers are here, too!
First clutch of quakers are hatching, and this little guy got a bit stuck yesterday in the 37c heat, so he needed a little assistance before going back to mum and dad to get fluffy.
You can see the yolk absorbed into his abdomen and the remnant egg white goop that kept him slippery in there.
